Ted Levy and Van Porter at Woodpeckers Tap Dance Center Porter, Van performer Levy, Ted performer Hines, Gregory performer Concert 1991-09-07 September 7, 1991 "Ted Levy and Van Porter are a wild tap duo" wrote Sally Sommer in Village Voice. "Slick and chic, Levy sports an off-center, flattop pompadour and slaps down taps with Nicholas Brothers bravado. Porter is a gangly guy with an endearing smile and jutting elbows and knees; he keeps leaping up in double aerial tours, collapsing, and bouncing back like a weightless puppet. Although they dance in unison, each performs with such individual brio that you get multiple images of a single step. This is tap as Cubist performance." (Sally Sommer, "Cube-o-rama" in Village Voice.) Levy and Porter were joined by many guests, including Hot Foot, Joe Orrach and Rod Ferrone, and Gregory Hines.
